I think that unresolved memories hinder us from who we can be, that it's necessary to go to therapy. When I do I get better and better. When my memories came back I was not fully functional. So I am grateful for therapy and support. I am in a much better place now.
The trigger I live with- we have an excellent superior and when she's home I am fine. She went somewhere for the weekend and my anxiety went up and I took a pill. Then I was extremely anxious as I had to let her know something about a schedule she wouldn't like and my entire body was shaking...
Hi, I am a Sister and have been triggered these past few weeks waiting for my new assignment. Every year we receive a card asking us to serve somewhere. The Superiors have been meeting with me beforehand about the assignments. But not this year, I guess. We received an email saying we are...
Yeah, I had this on other sites and the jist of it is to leave it to the professionals and also know it all traces back to the trauma so work from there. Labels aren't good. I probably am dissecting and sorting. The test is funny in a way. Thanks again!
I took the Liebowitz test and found out that I have severe social anxiety syndrome. This in addition to clinical depression, PTSD, slight OCD and as I found out last week an eating disorder. I feel like a big worthless mess-up. Just venting.
Well, nobody told me I had to bring her yesterday so I feel pretty good that I stood my ground. I don't know who brought her. But I am just glad the superior got the point. :)
Thanks so much, both of you! This Friday is her appointment and she has not mentioned who is bringing her. I have to admit I am anxious about that; I don't want to be told I have to bring her, after all of the standing my ground, assertiveness, etc.
I am living with a very difficult person. If we try to talk, she says her thing angrily and when I try to say something she says she doesn't want to hear it. There are other things. Well, due to my being triggered by her regarding the incest, things have gone badly when I drive her places. I...
There is a reason you are in the world. You can go to counseling, be a strong survivor who has experienced the worst and help others. That's my thought.
I would go to a therapist for help. You may not feel that you have a plan but it seems you do. Even with no emotion. You don't need emotion to be suicidal. I urge you to go to the emergency room RIGHT NOW. Just say someone suggested you go and then tell them what you have written. Please go.
My APRN told me they have been worried for awhile that I am anorexic. I told my therapist this and based on the answers I gave her she said I am on a slippery slope to anorexia. I have PTSD and clinical depression and she told me this often happens. Has anyone else had this experience? What...
I am a survivor of long term incest, molestation from a couple of boys, inappropriate touch from a friend's dad, a stranger rape. I am wondering-How about if I wouldn't normally let a guy in my pants when sober and then when drunk allow it? Penetration with no foreplay. Painful. Angry right...
Your words are a picture of me. I am that way, too. In my situation I have to play it safe with the person I am living with- things are pretty tough, that she says we don't have any communication. But when she wants to "communicate" it's her yelling so I don't bother. I am very...
Hi,
I have been diagnosed with clinical depression and ptsd. I am forgetful about things and even last night I didn't add correctly. A Sister has been going every Monday to an appt. and I didn't know where she went. I forgot twice how to get to my psychologist's office. I went on a field...
I am having a very difficult time being present. It's like I am not here in 2015. It's embarrassing when dealing with others. I am forgetful and can't even add correctly. Recently I was pretty bad depression-wise and my counselor is having me email her every day to check in. She's aware of...
